WI vs AUS Team Previews

West Indies

The hosts will be pretty disappointed with the way they have played in the previous two games. While there were some bright moments, they squandered those away and have already lost the series.

The West Indies’ bowlers have done a good job, particularly with the new ball. Shamar Joseph’s love affair with Australia continues as he has picked up 14 wickets in 2 games, making him the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. He has been well-supported by Jayden Seales, who has 10 against his name.

Alzarri Joseph and Justin Greaves have also bowled well in patches and the seam attack has rattled Australia’s famed batting line-up on quite a few occasions. However, it is the batting that has let them down. Kraigg Brathwaite has struggled against the new ball and has failed to reach double-digits in each of his 4 innings.

In addition to Brathwaite, there are plenty of experienced batsmen in the side including Shai Hope, Brandon King, Keacy Carty, and Roston Chase. However, barring King, no one has been able to score even a single half-century. As a result, the selectors might have to make some tough calls to bring out desired results.

Australia

Australia started as the favorite to win this season and they didn’t disappoint the fans and have retained the Frank Worrell Trophy for the 13th time in a row.

While Australia will be delighted by the win, they would have hoped that the magnitude of their victory would have been bigger, especially given their recent record against the West Indies in the red-ball format. However, that hasn’t been the case in the two Test matches played so far as the visitors have often appeared vulnerable against the searing pace of Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales.

All eyes were on Sam Konstas after his high-profile debut against India. However, he has failed to deliver and is averaging under 10 runs in his 4 innings. Usman Khawaja too has struggled to convert his starts into big knocks.

The middle order on the other hand has seemed pretty solid with the likes of Travis Head, Alex Carey, and Beau Webster chipping in at various stages to see Australia through. The visitors are unlikely to make any changes to their experienced seam trio of Hazlewood, Starc, and Cummins, while Nathan Lyon is likely to retain his place as the only specialist spinner.

WI vs AUS Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played here were won while batting first. 3 were won while chasing while one was tied. In 7 of those games, the team winning the toss opted to field first and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch here has historically suited quicker bowlers and we expect another hard and flat surface, offering excellent pace and bounce. The seamers will get assistance with the new ball and the batsmen need to be careful while selecting their shots.

However, once they settle down, playing shots gets easier. The average first-inning score here is around 315. The spinners usually don’t get much help.

The weather is likely to remain overcast throughout the weekend and the next week and there is a high probability that rain will impact the match.

WI vs AUS: Who Will Win?

We are backing Australia to win this match. While their batting is not in top form, Australia has enough firepower to overcome any challenge thrown its way. With the pink ball, the Aussie bowling attack is expected to be even more dangerous.

Bet on Australia to win this match.

WI vs AUS win percentage stands at 76% in favor of AUS.
